An incredible amount of support
Even compared to the international high schools Natalie attended, the international makeup of UBC Sauder faculty and student body were noteworthy.
“Seeing the diversity of culture and experience that my classmates brought to the program really struck me,” she says.
It wasn’t long before Natalie determined she wanted to go into consulting and started exploring the potential for doing an internship in that area. To get the tools to do that, she turned to the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre (BCC).
“The BCC helped me get comfortable with the consulting interview style, which is quite in-depth,” she says. “They offer an incredible amount of support in a multitude of areas that are useful when looking to begin recruiting such as resume refinement, general career coaching, and interview prep.”
Natalie also turned to the BCC when she decided to go on an international exchange.
“Going to Vienna for my exchange was one of my most memorable experiences of my degree,” she says. “I was thrown into another culture with a language that was entirely new to me which was simultaneously petrifying and rewarding. It was my experience at UBC Sauder that prepared me for this opportunity and allowed me to embrace the challenging aspects in order to maximize my personal growth – and to have fun while doing it!”
